A newer deck w/ stairs extends from the original side porch, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The grounds offer established gardens & a pergola set behind the oversized 2-car garage w/ attached barn (1994), perfect for storage or workshop use. A Buderus boiler provides a single heating system. Ductless mini-splits provide heating & cooling on the 1st floor, w/ a separate ducted heat pump system & thermostat upstairs.
